Our industry has been working hard to keep essential services running in vital sectors including supermarkets and hospitals and to help in their local community in recent months.
To recognise these unsung RACHP heroes the IOR is inviting you to join us in a campaign to identify RACHP Heroes. The campaign, which will run on Twitter and Facebook, invites you to post stories about workers who have worked tirelessly, gone beyond the call of duty as part of their work or taken part in voluntary community activities. Anyone with a connection to a refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump business can be nominated – just share their hero story with a picture or video using the hashtag #RACHPHeroes and #wrefd20
To find out more about the IOR visit ior.org.uk/WorldRefrigerationDay2020 and see our twitter page and our Facebook page.
